Thanks for your interest in Emmaus Bakery!

I’d like to put a picture on the cake how do I do that?

We can put just about any picture on a cake. If you have a specific photo that you wish to have put on a cake, stop on by and drop off the picture. We will then scan it into our Kopy Cake machine which in turn scans the picture on the cake. We will then return the picture in its original condition to you when you come to pick up your cake. We also can decorate your cake with the characters that are popular among our kids today. What we find at the bakery is parents have a specific theme for their child’s party so they bring us the napkin or one of the plates that they are going to use. We then decorate the cake to match. Also if you are not sure how you want the cake to look just give us a call we’ll be more than glad to help you figure it out.

How do I know what size cake I will need?

Just give us a call. You tell us how many and we can tell you how much it will feed. We have a variety of sizes and shapes that will feed 6 to 7 people all the way up to sizes that feed 110 people. 

How far in advance should I place an order for a cake?

We do require 24 hours notice, however, calling a least a week in advance is a really big help for us.

What type of cookies do you usually have in the store?

Typically we have Chocolate Chunk and M&M’s on hand. Recently we have added our Butter Cookie, which we dip in Chocolate and that too is kept on hand. We also offer Oatmeal, Macadamia, Peanut Butter, Ox Tongues (Ginger Cookies), Kiffles and Cutouts. Again if you give us 24 hours most orders can be accommodated. Cutouts, Kiffles and Ox Tongues will require more notice to complete the orders. 

What about pies do you make them year round?

Absolutely!  We can make what ever type of pie you want. The only pies that have restrictions are Pumpkin and Strawberry. They are seasonal. The rest we can make, that includes Apple, Cherry, Lemon Meringue, Shoofly, and Minced Meat you name it we can make it. Just tell us what type of topping you want on it like Crumb, Lattice or Closed top. Again just give us 24 hours notice and trust me you can tell everyone you made it. We won’t tell.

What time do you open in the morning?

We typically open up at 8:00 AM however sometimes we are open a little earlier. Our normal hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday 8 am to 6 pm and then Sat 8 am to 3 pm and Sun 8 am to 1 pm. We are closed Mondays.
